Thread: NOS Albright Barber Hone

hey all,
Just thought i'd share my new little hone. It is brand new in the box and was purchased off of the bay. It was owned by a John H Albright (barber) who ran a barbershop in Hanover, PA. I was not able to obtain much more info but I am guessing he had these hones made for him and had quite a few on hand. this one went to auction along with many of the other items from the shop. I scored this at such a great price and am very very happy with it. From the box to the wrapping, instructions and stone it is all Mint! I am not sure yet whether I will put it to use or keep it for my collection of shaving gear. It is very hard and soft. Most barber hones I have used tend to make me believe they are between 4k-6k. It would not surprise me at all if this was in the 8-10k range. anyways, just wanted to share this little rock with all of you
